Hello, We are going to be building a 24'x16' deck with two inset stairs using Azek and are having a heck of a time figuring out what color/s we want.

Here is a crappy MS Paint drawing with what we are working with.

Details are our house siding is dark gray vinyl, specifically Alside Ageless Slate. We will have black aluminum rails with a drink rail around the border. We are planning on picture framing it and there will need to be a board in the middle perpendicular to the main deck boards because the deck will be too big.

Here are the colors we have narrows it down to:

French White Oak: Shaded, Sunny

English Walnut: Shaded, Sunny

Boardwalk: Shaded, Sunny

Coastline: Shaded, Sunny

Coastline with Dark Hickory frame: Shaded, Sunny

Personally, my favorite is the Coastline with Dark Hickory as the accent for the picture frame, I like how it matches the siding but adds a nice pop. My wife however isn't sure and thinks having that middle perpendicular stripe would segregate our deck into two sections and make it feel like we have to fit everything into a section (so we could have a table that spans it partially for instance).

She likes the boardwalk and wants to do it for both the frame and the deck, but I am worried it is too similar to the siding and might look weird with no accent.
